We will be hosting a “Countdown to Kindergarten” night to help families learn about the transition to elementary school. This event will be especially helpful for families whose children will be entering kindergarten next year, but all families are welcome to attend.

We are still in the early planning stages, and more details will be coming soon. At the end of March, you will receive the April newsletter with a personal note from me sharing the final details about the event.

We look forward to sharing this evening with you!
